How the Residents of Merriam Park

Spring---Nctes.

The poet says sin spring time young
mans fancies lightly turn to thoughts
of love-" so it seems at Ham
line. At least if not TO that it is to
something besides the classics and matfl-
ematics. Societies and debating clubs,
along with studies, have fallen victims
to the balmy evenings, and undergrad
uate and prep unite in one common.
search for pleasure. The staid senior
has put off his clerical air and is now
found haunting lawn tennis grounds, or
he may occasionally be found with COM
pany seeking his pleasure in more re-
tired parts of the campus. He is also
ready at all times to discuss Russian
politics and the futrt"e of that vast EN-
pre. If these statement need corrobo-
rating Messrs. Carroll and Marshall will
be glad to answer all questions.
Thel iunior-the festive junior-has
ceased to work. His days and nights
are spent III studying the wonders OF
God revealed in nature and the starry
heavens. The woods offer him more at
traction than any club. In them he
roams at will, contemplating every
boulder he chances upon, estimating the
probable cost of removing that said
boulder to the campus at some future
date, to commemorate the wonderful
sorrows. Oratorical day is drawing near
and he dreams of the day when he can
forget that production of his on The
Law and the People," or perhaps the
western Empire or the resurrection
of some great divine long departed.
With all he is constant source of
trouble and annoyance, turning up on
all occasions when least wanted.

his sophomore wisdom finds happiness

adjusted m0rtar-board and finely waXed
mustache, he draws the bow at ven

rival in S. +. KerfOOt or q. w. Empey.
If not in them, he would surely sue

Clark and Share.
The freshman, that much-abuSed per-
son, is the same at lIamline as the world
over, unless it is that he is given to the
cultivating of his musical abilities. Any
city church in need of musicians would
do well to apply to this class, and any
correspondence will be promptly att
tended to by MeSsrs. Beck and Farrar,
or by the lady secretary, who halls from
the Zenith City.
